A star from the series said "witches are queer inherently."
The much-hyped Disney+ series �Agatha All Along� is �the gayest project
Marvel has ever done,� according to one of its stars.
Actress Sasheer Zamata confirmed that description was accurate when asked by
a reporter while walking the red carpet in a video posted by Variety on
Monday. She agreed with that assessment, saying, �I think witches are queer inherently just because we are outcasts and like, set aside for many
reasons.�
She continued, �I think this show shows a really good representation of different types of people and that we can all use the power we have within to like, go forth and be great.�

�Agatha All Along� is the follow-up to Marvel�s �WandaVision� miniseries,
which debuted in 2021. The new iteration follows the character Agatha
Harkness (Kathryn Hahn), who was revealed to be a powerful sorceress.
�The infamous Agatha Harkness finds herself down and out of power after a suspicious goth Teen helps break her free from a distorted spell,� the show�s description on Disney+ says. �Her interest is piqued when he begs her to take him on the legendary Witches� Road, a magical gauntlet of trials that, if survived, rewards a witch with what they�re missing. Together, Agatha and
this mysterious Teen pull together a desperate coven, and set off down, down, down The Road��
The show is being touted for �representation� just weeks after the
cancellation of Disney�s series �The Acolyte,� which was described as �the gayest �Star Wars� yet.� Showrunner Leslye Headland bragged about how �The Acolyte� was �coded queer� and how she intended �to allow her own personal experiences as a queer woman shine through in the finished product.�
After disappointing viewership, the �Star Wars� show was not renewed for a second season.
�Agatha� star Zamata recently came out as a lesbian. �I�m out in my life and
I do keep my personal life kind of private, but I also don�t necessarily want my identity to be private,� the �SNL� alum said during an interview for
�Them� magazine that was published earlier this month. �I guess I�m one of those late-in-life lesbians. I just feel very comfortable and confident in my life.�
�Agatha All Along,� premieres its first two episodes on Disney+ on September 18.
